A 2-0 win against a mediocre Needham Market leaves Dulwich 2nd, 1 point behind Billericay. 2,417 at Champion Hill (better than 6 National League matches this weekend and 2 in League 2). There were 1,988 at the top-of-the-table clash between Billericay & Hendon so grudging respect. It's promising to be a be a good season. Anyway ...

[QUOTE=ElwissAtMemphis;13874442]In desperate times, there's a wee bit of consolation to be grasped from events on the south coast for a change. A 2-0 win against Worthing (who play in Bognor for some reason) leaves Dulwich 3rd. Billericay didn't play. Hendon & Kingstonian both won but it's interesting at the top.

Worthing are playing at Bognor because their 3g pitch failed to get a fifa certificate because it's uneven due to flooding. There's been a dispute going on between the club and company that laid it (with fifa mediating, as you have to use a fifa approved company's). Hopefully it will be sorted today and Worthing will be back at woodside road on saturday.

Sadly an opportunity to make a good day even better was spurned by Hamlet today. With leaders Billericay otherwise preoccupied with The FA Cup, a win at Staines Town would have seen Hamlet go top. Unfortunately, despite Nyren Clunis giving us the lead it finished 1-1 which not only saw Dulwich miss out on going top but slide down 2 places to 4th.

It's still close at the top but you get a bad feeling about teams like Billericay who keep managing to finish the day in an even better position without even playing. Anyway, it's home to Harlow on Tuesday. Leiston & Hendon are also playing but if results go our way, top spot by the end of the evening is feasible. Sadly, Billericay are replaying this afternoon's fixture so with their luck they'll probably stay top in an even stronger league position. I'm developing a strong dislike for them without ever having watched them. The bastards.

Leiston lost at Tonbridge tonight (their first defeat of the season) but sadly Hendon beat Needham Market so we're level on points at the top but they're ahead on goal difference. Billericay have loads of games in hand but that's not necesarily a big advantage ... and anyway, it's a bit early for amateur punditry.

Reise Allassani got the only goal of Dulwich's game at Thurrock consolidating top spot. 2nd place Hendon lost 1-3 at home to Metropolitan Police (isn't there a conflict of interest in there somewhere?)

Billericay didn't play but Leiston, Harrow & Staines all lost too leaving the table ...

Dulwich Hamlet are in crisis - Meadow Residential (the property developer owners) have pulled the plug on the playing side and are threatening to wind up the club.

Please can you help?
